Christmas

This Christmas was a first for us. We celebrated Christmas with just our family. We had a great time. We had a great time preparing for Christmas this year. Carson is at the perfect age and was so excited about everything. We put up the Christmas trees, visited Santa, looked at Christmas lights, threw out reindeer food, and baked cookies for Santa. Then on Christmas day, we skyped with family, the kids played with new toys, ate a delicious breakfast (homemade cinnamon rolls and sausage muffins), slept, and had a Christmas dinner at the Phillips.
With Carson getting older, we want to make sure we teach him why we really celebrate Christmas. A friend told me about the Jesse Tree- I love it! We made our tree and ornaments and were ready to go! Each night we had a devotion with Carson going through the lineage of Christ. I loved it because each day we were able to bring the focus to Christ, our Saviour. It was amazing to see Carson grasp the truth! This will defiantly be a tradition for us.

Decorating for Christmas!
